CHOICE    OF   VOCATION 


A  SELECTED  LIST  OF 
BOOKS   AND   MAGAZINE   ARTICLES 
FOR  THE  GUIDANCE  OF  STUDENTS 


PITTSBURGH 

CARNEGIE  LIBRARY 

1921 


Preface 

This  bibliography  has  been  compiled  by  the  Reference  De- 
partment of  the  Carnegie  Library  of  Pittsburgh  at  the  request 
of  the  Department  of  Vocational  Guidance  of  the  Pittsburgh 
public  schools.  A  tabulation  of  the  first  choice  of  occupations 
made  by  Pittsburgh  high  school  pupils  last  year  seemed  to 
indicate,  especially  in  the  case  of  the  girls,  a  need  for  a  greater 
knowledge  of  the  variety  of  careers  open  to  them.  Existing 
lists  were  either  out  of  date,  too  brief,  or  not  altogether  adapted 
to  the  purpose. 

This  bibliography  is  designed  to  furnish  a  list  of  books 
and  magazine  articles  in  which  boys  and  girls  may  find  re- 
liable information  presented  in  an  interesting  form.  In  com- 
piling it  all  available  lists  have  been  consulted,  especially  the 
very  full  recent  volume  by  Frederick  J.  Allen,  "A  Guide  to 
the  Study  of  Occupations."  Since  most  of  the  books  referred 
to  give  information  about  several  occupations,  repetition  has 
been  avoided  by  arranging  the  material  in  t\YO  sections.  One 
gives  an  alphabetical  list  of  occupations,  indicating  under  each 
the  books  and  magazines  in  which  information  may  be  found. 
The  other  lists  alphabetically  all  the  books  referred  to,  with 
a  descriptive  note  about  each.  Each  magazine  article  treats 
of  a  single  occupation  and  is  therefore  entered  in  full,  with 
the  descriptive  note,  under  the  occupation. 

The  teacher  or  counselor  who  desires  suggestions  for  mak- 
ing the  best  use  of  the  material  gathered  together  here,  is 
referred  to  the  abundant  literature  of  vocational  guidance. 
One  of  the  best  bibliographies  on  that  subject  is  one  compiled 
by  J.  M.  Brewer  and  R.  W.  Kelly,  under  the  title  "A  Selected 
Critical  Bibliography  of  Vocational  Guidance."  Other  useful 
books  are  Brewer's  ''Vocational  Guidance  Movement,"  Davis's 
"Vocational  and  Moral  Guidance,"  and  Bloomfield's  ''Youth, 
School  and  Vocation."
